Ordered Apollo Vtube and spare battery, what else do I need?

[Jamiedegno]

I just ordered the Apollo Vtube-mini starter kit, a spare 18350 battery, some cartomizers, and juice.

The starter kit comes with a drip tip - dumb question: do you use the drip tip and the cartomizer together?

Any other recommendations? What about those dual coil tank cartomizers?

Personally, I don't use dual-coil anything. It sounds like you have all you need to get started. What cartomizers did you get? The drip tip is meant to be used on an atomizer - great for testing juices. You can put one on a carto but it sure isn't necessary.

I have 2 Mini's and I use either cartos or clearos on it. I got the 510 to eGo adapter so I can use the "Stardusts" I use on my KGO. I'd start the process at 3.7 volts and see how it goes from there...

Your blank cartomizers will have a rubber stopper in the top with a hole in the middle. Just use a paper clip or similar tool to pop that out and put the drip tip on.

A dual-coil carto tank should work well. You can pump up the voltage pretty high on that PV, so stick with standard and high resistance cartomizers.

Ok, so I guess I'm confused again. Why do they include the drip tip if you don't use it with the cartomizer? There is no atomizer included with the starter kit....

I use drip tips on my cartomizers all the time. It feels much better on my lips than the sharp edges of a cartomizer, and it makes filling easier, and they look nice.

The kit should have included a small atomizer. Mine came with one. I found out quickly that "dripping" was not for me.

It may be confusing when you call the removable tip a drip tip- you don't have to use it just when you are dripping. The smoke tech DC cartos come with a tip, but it's not for dripping. Some of the cartos have the plastic cap with a hole in them instead of a tip. Like mooreted I prefer having a tip on my carts- it feels better.

You can get dual coils if you want, but with the Vtube you don't have to. Get a good 2.5 to 3.0ohm resistance cartomizer or clearomizer so you can use the full range of the VV model that you have. Don't get anything below 2.0ohm or your Vtube will just adjust the voltage to the 3.7 range no matter how high you set the voltage. It is a safety feature so you don't break the low resistance cartomizer.

Hope that helps.
